Can't run tests for the library

[bvqbao]

Hi,

I would like to modify the txforge library but I cannot run any test.
Here is the error:

npm run test

> txforge@0.2.5 test /home/baobui/txforge
> mocha "test/**/*.test.js" --require esm

I tried to run the tests for txforge on both Ubuntu and Windows. Same error!

It seems that there are problems with the bsv library. Is there any special setup that I missed in order to run the tests?

Thanks,

Odd, not come across that before. No setup required other than npm install (or yarn install) to ensure the deps are there.
I presume you've done that?

[bvqbao]

Yes. I have done npm install.

git clone ...
cd txforge
npm install
npm run test

Node version: 14.16.1
Npm version: 6.14.12

Can you check in you package-lock file what version of bsv is installed?

In my local repo which works I have version 2.0.4. Try specifying that version in package.json.

tbh I'd be surprised if this is the problem, but it's worth trying to rule it out.

[bvqbao]

package-lock.json says 2.0.10.

The error here seems to be: import bsv from 'bsv'.
It doesn't work for some reasons, so bsv is undefined.

VSCode has a following notice: "Could not find a declaration file for module 'bsv'. bsv.cjs.js implicitly has an 'any' type".

Update: I have changed the import line to const bsv = require('bsv'), and the error disappears for cast.test.js (other files still have the error). txforge uses import syntax, so I don't think this is a good fix.

[bvqbao]

Ok. I changed import bsv from 'bsv' to import * as bsv from 'bsv' and it works!
Not sure if you are ok with this change? I will submit a pull request if necessary.

Anyway, the main thing is I want to submit a pull request to fix a bug in p2ms.js.
So if you are ok with the import changes, I will make two pull requests.

[libitx]

I guess the bsv maintainers have made a change that has removed the global export. This can only be recent - maybe specifically in 2.0.10.

Please dont do a PR for the bsv import as I want to ask them if it is intentional. They'll probably break all my libraries with this change so I would rather they revert the change.

However, happy to see the PR for any p2ms fixes 🙏
